Personal Statement 

Ciao!     

​

My heritage is diverse and somewhat unique.

I often think of myself as a one-of-a-kind variety of human that can belong in several groups.

I grew up in sunny California with Mexican, Peruvian, Spanish, and Chinese ancestry. Being a woman of color pursuing a career in STEM I found that I have many similar traits with my fellow colleagues; a passion for the natural world, a willingness to grow and learn, a love for plant life, and a need to play a positive role in the environmental sustainability.

I consider myself a scientist and I am working towards becoming an influential instructor.

​

My ultimate goal is to bring as much love and harmony into this world as I can. More to come!
